Remembering Miss Patti Page

Our hearts go out to the family and friends of a legend - Miss Patti Page - who passed away Tuesday at the age of 85. Regular readers of the Long and Short of it All will know our fondness for her fine voice, often featured amongst our boring old posts over the years.

As we stated in 2008 in Dachshunds in Pop Culture: Patti Page: While we don't think that Ms. Page was ever owned by her very own Dachshund, her
accomplishments certainly require that she has a special place in Dachshund
history. The above promotional photo was taken in January of 1953; she is
"holding a dachshund in a pet shop, trying out her new song, How Much Is
That Doggie in the Window."
